Editing Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark (section)

==Marriage and Issue==
In 1964, Margrethe met French nobleman '''Henri, Hereditary Count of Monpezat''' at a party in London. Her father, King Frederik, did not approve of the match as he preferred a royal match for his eldest daughter and heir. Frederik stood firm, and the couple broke up by 1967. Margrethe remained unmarried, which caused a crisis within Denmark as the line of succession came into doubt. 

In 1983, Margrethe and Henri crossed paths once again when Henri was assigned to the French embassy in Copenhagen. Neither had married in the intervening years, and the couple rekindled their romance. On 10 June 1984, Margrethe and Henri finally married in Copenhagen. The next year, the queen gave birth to her only child, '''Frederika''', at the age of 45.

Eight years after their wedding, Henri was killed in an automobile accident near Fredensborg Palace.
